Google Wins Vista Battle With Microsoft

In no mood to revisit the antitrust foibles of the past, Microsoft has agreed to modify its Windows Vista operating system to allow competitors such as Google to easily operate desktop searches.

According to The Wall Street Journal David Drummond (pictured right), Google's senior vice president and chief legal officer, said, “Microsoft's current approach to Vista desktop search clearly violates the consent decree and limits consumer choice… These remedies are a step in the right direction, but they should be improved further to give consumers greater access to alternate desktop search providers.”
